Approaches On Reality And Truth In The Post-Truth Era
What real is, what reality is and what the shape of them are important notions to understand how they are represented in visuality.

Contrazione Sensible
Contrazione Sensible (sensible contraction) that is a study about objects. In my opinion, art of photography has the power to vitalize inanimate objects. In this sense, the representation of human bodies in photos is the perfect example of vitality in objects, that cannot communicate. Bodies are sensible objects and they need to share the beauty of themselves, that is an inextricable part of bodies and obviously a part of the owner of the body, with us. I wanted to describe h

Allocution
1 Even the most studiously factual account of the past survives nothing but the future it could not predict.[1] Were this survival to give the present moment more than a nod of obedient self-justification, it might risk revealing the significance of the loss that inspires every desire to remember. This loss that animates memory and history evokes not merely a by-gone yet mentally retrievable element from the depository of time. It indicates quite on the contrary a structural

Jouissance
When we are in a flow, we don’t realize reality, which has a suspicious body, that is created by the reification of the imaginary. “Reification” is the key notion to make the system approvable because people need to believe in terms when they are sensible and even embodied.

It is not surprising to see such characters in Kafka's wo

Why Caravaggio?
The answer to this question is surely in the paintings’ immediacy. When one stands in front of a Caravaggio painting one is taken aback by the sheer power of the painting. What gives these paintings their immense power? First we should consider what power is. More specifically the theory of power put forth by Michel Foucault. Foucault does not acknowledge power as being situated in any one place or possessed by any particular person or sovereign locality. Power is in the space

I'm into you
In the contemporary world, humanity is alienated from itself by social constructions which are reproduced by the status quo. We have lost oyr interpreting skills to understand the deconstructive process which is an important means to reshape and recreate identities. In the post-truth era, humanity is very chaotic, but most people do not have an awareness what the system is doing to people. I want to destroy the unconscious progress because this progression is a lie of the sy
